Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, hasn’t been seen since the Feb. 28 strikes that blew up his father, baffling US and Israeli officials as to his current whereabouts and whether he’s actually running the Iranian regime.
Since the strikes that took out Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the younger Khamenei has issued two written statements, but no one has so much as heard his voice.
It’s left Iranians speculating whether he’s even alive — and earned him the moniker “the cardboard ayatollah” — after an AI-generated video of supporters hailing a cardboard cutout of him went viral.
But intelligence from both the CIA and Israel’s Mossad — like evidence regime officials in Tehran have been trying to schedule in-person meetings with Khamenei — suggest he’s alive.
His whereabouts and condition though — he was wounded in the opening strikes of the war that took out his father — remain a puzzling mystery.
The White House’s national security team is trying to figure out if the younger Khamenei, 56, is actually the one in charge — and if not, who is, a US official told Axios.
“We have no evidence that he is really the one giving orders,” a senior Israeli official told Axios.
“It’s beyond weird,” a US official added. “We don’t think the Iranians would have gone through all this trouble to choose a dead guy as the supreme leader, but at the same time, we have no proof that he is taking the helm.”

He gonna pop up out of that well...
Gay men are afraid to show themselves in Iran.
Schrödinger’s Ayatollah. Both alive and dead until someone opens the box.
I guess it was sort of like when Biden was president.
Ayatollah Brandon.
He is Schrodinger’s ayatollah.
This is a pretty stressful time in his life and he may just prefer a little privacy right now, if I was reading his local papers I probably would too.
Mahyar Tousi’s sources say he’s in a coma. One of those sources reported from the hospital where Mojtaba is in that coma, IIRC. He’s missing a leg also.
I should clarify that the person wasn’t on Tousi TV reporting live from the hospital but told Mahyar that he/she was in that hospital and some details about what is going on there. As with everything, it could be disinformation but Mahyar has some very good sources and I think I’ve only seen one time where he corrected an earlier report of his because new information came in.
Iranian protesters say revolution is just around the corner — can’t wait to ‘finish the job’
I said from the beginning this dude’s dead..they are using the Biden approach..basically run a dead guy for four years, never gonna see him but tweet out comments like he’s alive meanwhile he’s hanging out with his daddy and Mueller down under
He is a gay and crippled minority, so he should qualify for an SBA grant.
They are just “de-gaying” him, in the hospital.
Because he was more than likely killed early on along with all of the other “leaders” who keep playing musical chairs at the IRGC.
Maybe this double amputee toot is uh really “pining for the Fjords”.... a defunct ayatollah Mooshtaba is. (the Mouse).
Yeah I was thinking he died, but the powers that be said he was alive and “the new supreme leader” as a distraction while the new leader was selected in secret and hidden away.
I read somewhere in foreign sources, that he is in Moscow, undergoing treatment in hospital.

Why am I suddenly in favor of mandatory gender reassignment surgery, in this particular case. Greetings, Mrs. Ayatollah!
speculating whether he’s even alive

If somebody dies, it shall be quickly revealed.
Hiding somebody’s death is somehow against Allah.
So, as much I do not thrust these guys too much, if he has died, they would disclose it.
So yes, he is alive to some degree, somewhere.
